increase the risk of electric shock.

d)   Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord 

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the 

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, 

oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

 Damaged 

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric 

shock.

e)   When operating a power tool outdoors, 

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor 

use marked “W-A” or “W”.

 Use of a cord 

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of 

electric shock.

f

)   If operating a power tool in a damp 

location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault 

Circuit Interupter (GFCI) protected supply.

Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3)  PERSONAL SAFETY

a)   Stay alert, watch what you are doing and 

use common sense when operating a 

power tool. Do not use a power tool while 

you are tired or under the influence of 

drugs, alcohol or medication.

 A moment of 

inattention while operating power tools may 

result in serious personal injury.

b)   Use personal protective equipment. Always 

wear eye protection.

 Protective equipment 

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard 

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate 

conditions will reduce personal injuries. 

c)   Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 

the switch is in the off-position before 

connecting to power source and/or 

battery pack, picking up or carrying the 

tool.

 Carrying power tools with your finger on 

the switch or energizing power tools that have 

the switch on invites accidents. 

d)   Remove any adjusting key or wrench 

before turning the power tool on.

 A wrench 

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the 

power tool may result in personal injury. 

e)   Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times.

 This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations. 

f

)   Dress properly. Do not wear loose 

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving 

parts.

 Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can 

be caught in moving parts.

g)   If devices are provided for the connection 

of dust extraction and collection facilities, 

ensure these are connected and properly 

used.

 Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

h)  Do not let familiarity gained from frequent 

use of tools allow you to become 

complacent and ignore tool safety 

principles. 

A careless action can cause severe 

injury within a fraction of a second.

4)   POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the 

correct power tool for your application. 

The correct power tool will do the job better and
